Ex-WWE Star Surprised By Triple H’s “Weird” Behavior
Ex-WWE star Karrion Kross reacts to Triple H’s mix-up at SummerSlam.
During the post-show segment at WWE SummerSlam 2025, Triple H was speaking to the crowd. Fans enthusiastically started chanting “We want Kross,” referring to Karrion Kross, who had a match against Sami Zayn at the event. However, HHH misheard the chant as “We want Brock.” Without missing a beat, Triple H responded with, “You want Brock? You got him!”
This mix-up quickly went viral online, generating a lot of buzz from fans and critics alike. Karrion Kross, released by WWE in August, was recently asked to comment on this moment during his interview with Chris Van Vliet on his Insight podcast, and he responded, saying that it felt weird.
Chris Van Vliet: I was like, “Wait a second. It was pretty clearly, “We want Kross.”
Kross: Pretty weird, ehh?

Why was Triple H upset with Karrion Kross?
After WrestleMania 41, Karrion Kross delivered a powerful promo on the Sam Roberts podcast that mixed real-life frustrations with his wrestling character’s story. He spoke about his desire to prove himself as a top star, referencing his battles with WWE legends like Randy Orton and Roman Reigns. It was a bold, emotionally charged moment designed to blur the lines between reality and storyline, making fans feel a genuine connection to his struggles and ambitions.
However, this promo caused some heat backstage, especially with WWE executive Triple H. The day after the promo aired, Kross was told by talent relations that the creative team was upset with him. When Kross sought clarity, some writers said they had no idea there was a problem, which confused him.
Eventually, Kross found out that the frustration came directly from Triple H. He later spoke with Triple H to clear the air, and they reached an understanding. Kross explained that miscommunication between different departments had created the tension, but once they talked, Triple H got where he was coming from and respected his intentions.
